“Brazenly entertaining. . . . It summons to the page a Broadway voice like no other.”—Los Angeles Times “[An] erudite and affably self-conscious memoir of the creative process.”—Vulture An intimate portrait of a genius: the late Stephen Sondheim in a series of illuminating and deeply personal interviews from the last years of his life—conversations that show the composer-lyricist as he has likely never been seen before. In 2017, New Yorker staff writer D.T. Max began working on a major profile of Stephen Sondheim that would be timed to the eventual premiere of a new musical Sondheim was writing. Sadly , that process – and the years of conversation – was cut short by Sondheim’s own hesitations, then the global pandemic, and finally by the great artist’s death in November 2021. Now, Max has taken the raw version of these conversations and knit them together into an unforgettable work of literature and celebration. Finale reveals Sondheim—a star who disliked the spotlight—at his most relaxed, thoughtful, sardonic, and engaging, as he talks about work, music, movies, family, New York City, aging, the creative process, and much more. Max brings you into the room and gives you a front row seat for their unusual and intimate three-year-long “pas de deux.” The two bond, spar, separate, and reunite, as Max elicits from Sondheim a candor and vulnerability he seldom displayed in public. This is a unique portrait of an artist in his twilight, offering remarkable insight into the mind and heart of a genius whose work changed American musical theater and popular culture forever.Ver libro
"You have seen how a man was made a slave; you shall see how a slave was made a man." In this searingly honest and powerful account, Frederick Douglass reveals the harrowing reality of slavery in the American South. From the soul-crushing toil on the Lloyd plantation to his life-changing confrontation with the "slave-breaker" Edward Covey, Douglass chronicles his journey from a state of bondage to the reclamation of his own soul. He famously details how he secretly taught himself to read and write, realizing that education was the "pathway to freedom." This narrative is not just a historical document; it is a timeless testament to the power of literacy, the resilience of the human spirit, and the relentless pursuit of justice. The Battle for Human Dignity: The turning point of the narrative is Douglass's physical fight with Edward Covey. This moment represents the internal shift from a broken spirit to a man determined to be free, illustrating that resistance—both mental and physical—is the cornerstone of liberation. A Critique of Hypocrisy: Douglass's prose is sharp and uncompromising. He famously contrasts the "Christianity of Christ" with the "Christianity of this land," exposing the moral bankruptcy of those who used religion to justify the horrors of the slave system. Why It Is Essential Reading: Short, visceral, and profoundly moving, this narrative changed the course of history. It forced the world to acknowledge the humanity and genius of the enslaved, making it one of the most effective tools in the fight for abolition. To read it is to understand the very heart of the American struggle for equality. Experience the story that sparked a revolution.
